5212.24.10.10 - Not combed (410)

This HTS classification, 5212.24.10.10, specifically identifies "other woven fabrics of cotton" that meet several stringent criteria. These fabrics are not combed, meaning they are manufactured from staple cotton fibers that have undergone the initial carding process but not the subsequent combing stage. This results in a fabric with a less uniform surface and potentially shorter staple fibers compared to combed cotton. The fabric must also weigh more than 200 grams per square meter, indicating a substantial weight and thickness, and be composed of yarns of different colors, signifying a patterned or multicolored construction. Crucially, this fabric must contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, a key differentiating factor for this specific classification.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5212.24.10.20, primarily by the processing of the cotton yarns. While both fall under "other woven fabrics of cotton," weighing more than 200 g/m², and of yarns of different colors containing 36% or more wool or fine animal hair, this particular classification is for fabrics made from *not combed* cotton. The sibling classification, conversely, covers fabrics where the cotton component is combed. This difference in cotton processing directly impacts the texture, appearance, and potentially the strength of the final fabric, making it a critical distinction for accurate classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. Therefore, the focus for classification professionals lies in ensuring all the preceding criteria are met: the fabric is woven cotton, not combed, weighs over 200 g/m², uses yarns of different colors, and crucially, contains at least 36 percent by weight of wool or fine animal hair. Accurate determination of the fiber content and verification of the absence of the combing process are paramount for correctly applying this HTS code.
